- Description: A poetic journey that incorporates the seed, both in its abundance and in its scarcity. It points out questions such as: Are 'creatures' the end of their species or the beginning of another? Are viral creations displaced or transported? Are they unwanted instructors in seed stocks? Carrying a future potential or remnants of a distant past? Or both?

- Description: Humanity’s survival depends on seed, the ultimate container of life but as climate and consequently environment is changing, seed has become contested ground. Political, scientific, environmental and ethical debate surround both genetically modified seed and its reliance on the global monopoly of a few mega agri-businesses. This is starkly contrasted by localised heritage seed closely guarded for its untampered quality. Both forms of seed production are charged with the task of feeding populations as they grow exponentially into the future. Here lies part of our challenge. Antipodean Epic is a poetic journey that incorporates seed both in abundance and scarcity. The work utilises costume to create three characters, or creatures, as a means to ask: Are the creatures the end of their species, or the beginning of another? Are they displaced or transported viral creations? Are they unwanted interlopers within the seed stock? Are they the carriers of a potential future or remnants of a distant past, or both?

- Description: Exhibited as part of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale; 19th August-17th September 2017. Cracks in the Seams is a performance installation that will be performed for a video and photo shoot on the diving platforms at the edges of Lake Wendouree, where the historic overlay of original 1920s bathing meets 21st century performance. Trust and tension, control and release and interdependence all meet in this project, with Arts Academy dance students performing the work under the tutelage and direction of performance artist and director Jill Orr. The production will then be shown as a video installation throughout the 2017 Ballarat International Foto Biennale. Exhibited both nationally and internationally, Jill Orr’s performance work centres on issues of the psychosocial and environmental where she draws on land and identities as they are shaped in, on and with the environment, be it country or urban locales. Orr grapples with the balance and discord that exists at the heart of relations between the human spirit, art and nature.

- Description: Promised Land Exhibition - Jenny Port Gallery, Melbourne, 26th September-20th October 2012. As opposed to directly evoling a particular migration story, the work instead sought to investigate the open-ended nature of these readings, via the incorporation of multiple, unstable visual signifiers such a flags, boats, clothing and a series of performative/sculptural gestures that continually foreclosed any possibility of a direct reading of the work. In this manner, the works sought to simultaneously link each of these gestures back to both the history of Australian settlement, as well as to the journeys/travels undertaken in classical myths and legends.
